3. SETTINGS AND ADVANCED OPERATIONS
3.1 Footages and Slate
When starting a new project, please make sure:
 Project FPS: the fps used by playback clips, editing clips or delivery
matches up with the project FPS of the camera. For example: 24fps for
feature movie and 25fps for TV (PAL). Project FPS should not be
changed after project kicks off;
 Slate information: set clip name, director name, DoP and so forth on to
the project, and you can find all the information in slate.txt.
 Codec: choose in-camera ProRes or cDNG RAW;
 Project Blanking: choose from 2.4:1, 2:1, 17:9, 16:9, 4:3 or Instagram
ratio 1:1, also 9:16 and 1:2 for smartphone screens. Project Blanking is
also applicable for anamorphic shooting.
Codec: choose based on the project, post workflow:
 In-camera ProRes: most of the projects can be recorded in ProRes
422HQ (visually lossless), and in-camera oversampling to 4K/3K ProRes
with high image quality, efficient and reliable;
 Compressed RAW cDNG: in-camera record compressed RAW with
CinemaDNG format (compression ratio 3:1, 5:1 and 7:1) which is
natively supported by DaVinci Resolve.
Set the project and clip information, such as Project Name, DoP Name, Roll
Num, Take Num and so on, in [Configuration]
 Set Project FPS: [ConfigurationShootingProject FPS]
 Set Slate: [ConfigurationShootingSlate]
 Set Project Blanking: [ConfigurationShootingProject Blanking]
Use the shortcut button [1~4] to change the information. Everything will be
listed on the Slate and the SSD Roll Label, see eg:
Before a new project, we suggest setting Scene Num, Roll Num and Take Num
as "1". Then Roll Num of the SSD card will be incremented by 1 each time of
shooting after formatted in the camera, convenient for DIT backing-up clips.
NOTE Project Blanking only acts as a reference for monitoring, camera records the full active image.
NOTE For 3D shooting or multi-cam SYNC, please refer to 3.9 3D and SYNC.
